[2009] What actually causes ayu's sales to drop?

[Andrenekoi]

^Well, even now she is able of touching people... Days for example is a hit that deserves respect for it's own... And it's easy to understand why, those lyrics are ridiculously relatable, what is Ayu major force on her music..

But most of music market is moved by teenagers... teenagers are more passionete about their idols and are more likelly to buy 5 copies of an album, every magazine, the physical singles, the dvds, etc... When people get older, besides passionete collectors or really hardcore fans, they will pretty much download the songs they liked or buy the album where they will get the single tracks... and only if they like the music on the album^^

I would not say she is not relevant cuz she is selling well and she is producing track for at least one new artist... and she is also having her biggest tour of her career for for 4 consecutive years now... I would say she wasn't being relevant if she wasn't selling, nor producing, nor having bigger tours...
